Antibody directed against steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) was a gift from D.B.
Luteal progesterone and tissue areas occupied by blood vessels and large and small steroidogenic cells were similar between groups.
Voltage-gated K +currents with distinct electrophysiological and pharmacological properties are present in granulosa cells (GC), and modulate resting membrane potential [ 4 12 13 16 17 ] . Furthermore, selective antagonism of GC K +channels with distinct molecular correlates, electrophysiological properties and expression patterns can influence differentially GC proliferation, steroidogenic capability, and apoptosis [ 17 18 ] . Our laboratory has previously identified two distinct delayed rectifier K +currents in pig GC: a slow current (I Ks ) associated with channels formed by co-assembly of KCNQ1 pore-forming and KCNE1 accessory proteins, and an ultra-rapid current (I Kur ) formed by co-assembly of KCNA pore-forming and KCNAB accessory proteins [ 4 ] . Moreover, we have shown that selective block of I Ks enhances basal progesterone synthesis, while complete block of both I Ks and I Kur accelerates apoptosis [ 18 ] .
While these pathways are activated in luteal steroidogenic cells by diverse cell stressors, including cytokines [ 55 ] , no such detailed studies have been completed to date in the endothelial cell component of the CL.
One receptor for TNFα, TNF-RI is expressed throughout the bovine estrous cycle [ 46 ] , but is more abundantly expressed by the endothelial cell component than in steroidogenic cells [ 29 ] .
